Snap. The Japanese version of the anime is so far ahead of the dub. That isn't to say it's surprising, but when I'm someone who watches the dub, it makes me consider swapping over to subs. I've been thinking about doing it for some time. I mean, I did it with Naruto:Shippuden, but I don't think I was as attatched to the English VAs as I was/ am with Bleach's. But the thought of having hundreds of new episodes to watch on Hulu does sound tempting. Decisions, decisions.

I'm not sure if my opinion holds that much weight to be honest. I had only just started to get into subbed anime at the time and it was a strange transition to go from dubs to subs after hundreds of episodes of the former. I think some of the English VAs were actually good matches for their Japanese counterparts. My preferences are pretty mixed. For example, I preferred Naruto's Japanese VA, but then I really liked Liam O'Brien as Gaara. As for Bleach, I really like JYB, Michelle Ruff, and Steve Staley, so it's sort of hard to let them go. I appreciate the recommendation though, so I'll have to keep thinking about it.
